For over 20 years, Social Venture Institute Hollyhock (SVI) has provided over 2,500 entrepreneurs the opportunity to strengthen their business skills, network with other social change leaders, and rejuvenate their passion and vision. SVI offers the mission-based entrepreneur an opportunity to share challenges, successes, and experiences with peers in an atmosphere of trust and goodwill. Each attendee brings a commitment of social change to their enterprise, whether a for-profit business or a non-profit organization.

This year’s conference takes place at Hollyhock on Cortes Island September 14 – 18, 2016. The the cost of tuition for this event is $695 (not including accommodation, taxes and fees.) For the 2016 conference, all 150 participants apply to attend as part of a pre-approval process.
